Abstract：In this paper, the general functional framework of edge computing platforms is analyzed, and the category of these platforms based on their design target and deployment characteristic is discussed. The existing typical open source edge computing platforms such as EdgeX Foundry, Apache Edgent, Azure Internet of Things (IoT) Edge, CORD and Akraino Edge Stack are introduced with comparison from the perspectives of design target, target user, scalability, system characteristic and application area. Finally, some open source software that can be used to build edge computing platform is introduced, and the future trends and research topics of edge computing platform are discussed.
